You've not really made the case that those are life and death examples though. It's more likely the person who's not an anti semite is the one who's going to get heated in any discussion about it.

Aren't all opinions a function of preferences, born out of evolution and environment? Only if we had some kind of book...
This matters rather a lot if you're Jewish. You're arguing that "it doesn't matter if you don't look up", Star Wars passim.
Similarly it matters if your hairdresser is an anti-vaccer and spreads something contagious to you.
A certain amount of difference can be looked past, but when it comes to matters of life and death - and it can come to that surprisingly easily when things get heated - it matters.
